merging combinations
of philosophical religious
belief still seeking seekers
merging different forms
different inflectional forms
common single form origins

The third person of the Trinity is Holy Spirit
'Spirit' is proclaimed as co-creator with God Genesis 1: 2.
Holy Spirit was active inspiring prophets I Sam 19: 23-24, II Sam.23: 1-3.
Holy Spirit will fall upon whoever God wills
Holy Spirit was dove at baptism of Jesus Matt 3: 16.
Holy Spirit of God was the giver of tongues Acts 2.
Messianic Jews believe in God
Yahweh, Adonai, LORD
omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient
all-powerful, instantaneous everywhere, all knowing
unlimited power, present everywhere, infinite knowledge
eternal exists outside of time creation
infinitely significant and benevolent
omnibenevolent God is perfect goodness
may the Lord be with you upon you always
